So, this is what Saturday morning looks like … Only two comics purchased this week, so let's take a quick look at them. Authority: Revolution #11 In which Bendix reveals how he has controlled things from the beginning, with the aid of The Evolutionaries to set up Midnighter, and warp…
It might not be cool to espouse the opinion that Michael Bay can make a visually slick film but, there, I’ve said it. Yes, he has a fondness bordering on the fetish for explosions and car chases, and his films can never be regarded as complex. However, if you want…
Let us take a gander at Marvel's November solicitations: Marvel confuses me: apparently Microman and Mantor the Magician are 'Marvel Milestones' whereas Spider-Man & The Black Cat #1–3 are 'Marvel Must Haves'.

This is going to be a bit nomadic and aimless, with some thoughts and things I want to remember. On with the show and don’t munch on your popcorn too loudly; please be considerate to other patrons. Anyone else getting lots of Russian spam? I get an inbox full of…
More comic reviews? What is this – some sort of comics blog? In my preferred reading order: PVP #0 I really enjoy PVP – the artwork, the humour and the pop culture referencing all appeal to me in a variety of ways. This PVP sampler is a strange collection of…
